Exhaust for Katana SD 1983

[RF katana]

Hej there,
Greetings from a new member from Denmark, where motorcycles are costly and the weather is more befitting herrings than bikers!
I am currently restoring a GS(X) 1100 SD Katana and am in sore need of an original exhaust system as the mufflers are shot. I have come across an new exhaust from a 750 Katana ( in the USA), but need to know if it can fit - or be made to fit a 1100.
The part number for the 750 is stated as 14305-45500, and as far as I know the part no. for a 1100 is 14305/6-49342 so there should be a difference.
Can I maybe just use the mufflers and weld them to my pipes? Any Ideas?

Thank you

PS. I support the idea of a Katana forum

Don't have an answer for your problem, but for pipes on the other side of the pond, I'd look into Motad.

Made in the UK and pretty poplar for these bikes over there - they make a few different pipes for your bike, and shipping is bound to be significantly cheaper for you.




I bought a pipe from a fellow GS'er in Australia awhile back which turned out to be for a 750SD (Kat) instead of a 750ED which I needed (completely different engines). I turned around and sold it to someone in Europe (I do think it was Denmark), and the shipping, of course, was ridiculous.


Hope this helps,

Nevermind, just re-read your post and realized you were looking for an original pipe.


Bear with me while I take my foot out of my mouth....

Good luck,

Thanks for your reply,
I am aware that there are several 4 into 1 systems around, but I am trying to revert my bike back to original or as nearly original condition as possible.

Thanks again.

The exhausts will interchange.
